Autograph and spin: images of Putin testing Russia's new car

CNN Portugal28 August 2026 at 19:24

Russian President Vladimir Putin tested the new Volga model for the first time during a visit to the Nizhny Novgorod factory. At the event, Putin took the opportunity to sign an autograph on the vehicle, a moment that was widely documented.

The factory where the tests took place now belongs to the Russian automotive industry, having previously housed Volkswagen's operations in the country. This visit marks a significant step in Russia's attempt to develop its own national automotive industry.

The new Volga model represents Russia's efforts to reduce dependence on foreign brands in the automotive sector, at a time when many Western companies abandoned the Russian market after the start of the conflict in Ukraine.

Private label is no longer exclusive to large retail chains

Private labels, which already represent a significant share of sales in European retail, are expanding in Brazil and are no longer exclusive to large retail chains. Medium-sized companies have started developing exclusive products directly with Chinese manufacturers, creating a complete brand process that includes technical specifications, packaging, and visual identity. This change is occurring amid intense price competition on major marketplaces, where product differentiation has become essential for those who do not want to compete solely on price. Data from NielsenIQ shows that nearly 70% of Brazilians consider private labels a good alternative to traditional brands, and 72% associate them with good value for money.
